'''''Teletubbies''''' is a [[BBC]] [[British Academy of Film and Television Arts|BAFTA]] winning [[children's television series]], primarily aimed at [[pre-school]] viewers, produced from 1997 to 2001 by [[Ragdoll Productions]]. It was created by [[Anne Wood]] [[Order of the British Empire|CBE]], Ragdoll's creative director, and Andrew Davenport, who wrote each of the show's 365 episodes. Narrated by [[Tim Whitnall]], the programme rapidly became a critical and commercial success in Britain and abroad (particularly notable for its high production values),and won its BAFTA in 1998.Although the show is aimed at children between the ages of one and four, it is a substantial [[cult following]] with older generations, mainly [[college]] [[students]]<ref>{{cite web | url = http://cas.umkc.edu/comm/faculty/gutenko/abstract/ttabs.html | title = Deconstructing Teletubbies: Differences between UK and US college students' reading of the children's television program. | accessdate = 2008-09-30 | last = Gutenko | first = Gregory | publisher = College of Arts & Sciences, University of Missouri-Kansas City | location = Kansas City, Missouri, USA | archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20060922052957/http://cas.umkc.edu/comm/faculty/gutenko/abstract/ttabs.html | archivedate = 2006-09-22 | quote = Unexpectedly, the four furry alien-like "techno-baby" Teletubbies and their surreal Tubbyland world have also generated a cult following among college students.

The mixture of bright colours, unusual designs, repetitive non-verbal dialogue, ritualistic format, and the occasional forays into physical comedy appealed to a demographic who perceived the show as having [[psychedelic]] connotations. ''Teletubbies'' was controversial for this reason, and also for a perception that it was insufficiently educational. "[[Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh!]]", a single based on the show's theme song, reached number 1 in the [[UK Singles Chart]] in December 1997 and remained in the Top 75 for 32 weeks, selling over a million copies.

== Hindu related articles of questionable notability ==

While assessing articles for the project, I have come across numerous articles that are advertisements of sorts for local [[ashram]]s and non notable [[guru]]s. Currently there are about four or five Hindu gurus and/or ashrams that have little or no notability and little to no reliable sources. I have nominated these articles for deletion. Please feel free to review these nominations at, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Hinduism]]. Thanks. [[User:Ism schism|Ism schism]] ([[User talk:Ism schism|talk]]) 14:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
:: Ism. I find that it could be sometimes a problem of spelling or a language. What if a guru has notability as in a local language such as say Polish, German, [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] or [[Bangla|Bengali]] but not in English media as such, does it warrant the notability on English Wikipedia? Does anyone here can comment on it? <span style="font-family:Tahoma;">[[User:Wikidas|Wikidās ॐ]]</span> 16:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
:::I would tend to have to favor Ism's approach, although I might simply prod them for deletion myself under those circumstances. While it is true that these individuals might be notable in other languages, we can't assume that. If a foreign-language source is provided to estabalish notability, of course, even if you can't read it, that can be sufficient to ensure that the article not be deleted. [[User:John Carter|John Carter]] ([[User talk:John Carter|talk]]) 17:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
*After assessing more articles, I have added some to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Hinduism]]. Please feel free to review. Thanks. [[User:Ism schism|Ism schism]] ([[User talk:Ism schism|talk]]) 03:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

*'''Question''' - Do any editors know of sources in other languages for the articles posted on, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Hinduism]]? Please review per possible sources in other languages, and see if they might add or detract to the notability of the articles for deletion. Thanks. [[User:Ism schism|Ism schism]] ([[User talk:Ism schism|talk]]) 01:10, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

*'''New Question''' While assessing articles I came upon one about a spiritual leader called, [[Pujya Mota]]. I have checked sources in english and there are some passing mentions of him, but not much. Do any editors know of any good sources? Thanks. [[User:Ism schism|Ism schism]] ([[User talk:Ism schism|talk]]) 02:32, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
:If there are no objections, then I will put this article up for AFD in the future. Thanks. [[User:Ism schism|Ism schism]] ([[User talk:Ism schism|talk]]) 12:29, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
::I can see some sources and considerable references for him and his hariom asrama. And that is without checking 'other spellings' of his name. I would not AfD, just tag the lack or references in the article. <span style="font-family:Tahoma;">[[User:Wikidas|Wikidās ॐ]]</span> 13:30, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Thank you. I saw some passing references to his ashram as well, which is why I posted the question. Thank you for your feedback. I will look for references on the ashram as they might add more notability to the article and tag it in the meantime. Thanks again.

== HELP!!! NEEDED for Article on [[Sikh Rajputs]] ==

Someone put a tag on "[[Sikh Rajputs]]" article that it will be deleted in five days etc., this article can not be deleted as Sikh Rajputs exist and most claims made in the article are true as well known to local Indians in Punjab only the need is that some interested and knowledgeable editors with access to proper history books etc. can eventually come forward and develop the article properly in time, quoting credible sources. Foreign born and raised editors with no direct local Indian knowledge are requested not to vandalize it as per their own fastly held thoughts and beliefs.

Thanks

Hi

== New University Project on Hindu Law ==

Not sure where to post this exactly, but I wanted to let everyone who contributes to Hinduism-related pages that my class will be working on a collaborative project on Hindu law and Dharmaśāstra this term (Fall 2008) and we will be working on the [[Hindu Law]] and [[Dharmaśāstra]] pages, as well as creating and improving many others. Any help or suggestions you may have for us along the way are most welcome and appreciated. The project is described at [[Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects]].

== Feedback at [[Vithoba]] ==


I soon aim to nominate GA [[Vithoba]] for FAC. I would like suggestions to improve the article to FA status. Also, i request some copyeditor to go through the article to polish the language, if needed.--[[User:Redtigerxyz|Redtigerxyz]] ([[User talk:Redtigerxyz|talk]]) 12:13, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
== Overview ==
{{Refimprove|section|date=September 2008}}
The programme features four colourful characters: Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and [[Po]], who live in a futuristic dome (the "Tubbytronic Superdome"), set in a landscape of rolling hills. The environment is dotted with unusually talkative flowers and periscope-like "voice trumpets". The only natural fauna are [[rabbit]]s (although birds are often heard, particularly [[blackcap]]s and [[wren]]s). The climate is always sunny and pleasant save for occasional inclement days, with rain and puddles, and snow at [[Christmas]] time.The Teletubbies are played by actors dressed in bulky costumes, although the sets are designed to give no sense of scale. The costumes vaguely resemble large spacesuits, although the Teletubbies appear not to wear real clothes. They are instead furry, and have metallic silver-azure rectangular "screens" adorning their [[abdomen]]s. These screens are used to segue into short film sequences, which are generally repeated at least once. When the series is shown in different countries around the world, the film inserts are to be tailored to suit local audiences. (The [[United Kingdom|British]] inserts are default.) The Teletubbies have the body proportions, behaviour, and language of [[toddler]]s. The pacing and design of the show was developed by [[cognitive psychology|cognitive psychologist]] Andrew Davenport, who structured the show to fit the attention spans of the target audience. The repetition of practically every word is familiar to everyone who has ever worked with young children. There was also help from Shatarra Willis the stage manager who helped the show to become a success.The Teletubbies speak in a gurgling baby language which is the subject of some controversy among educationalists, some of whom argue that this supposedly made-up talk is not good for children.<ref>[http://www.literacytrust.org.uk/Pubs/linebarger.html Literacy Today article] regarding a study which found Teletubbies had a negative impact on toddlers in both vocabulary size and expressive language use.</ref> (A similar complaint was made forty years previously about another children's series, ''[[Flower Pot Men]]''.)The Teletubbies are at the stage of understanding speech but not yet fully capable of articulating it, exactly like their target audience. They often simply groan in disapproval in situations where a human toddler would throw a tantrum. The Teletubbies' catch-phrases are "Eh-oh" ([[Wiktionary:hello|hello]]), as in: "Eh-oh, Laa-Laa", to which Laa-Laa will respond, "Eh-oh, (other Teletubby's name)", "Uh-oh", a common toddler response to anything that's not good, "Run away! Run away!", especially from Dipsy, and "Bye-bye" at least four times in a row. Laa-Laa, when flustered, will explode with "Bibberly cheese!", which is as angry as the Teletubbies get. But perhaps the most common exclamation is "Big hug!" which one or more of the Teletubbies will invariably call for during the course of an episode, resulting in an enthusiastic group hug.


== [[Swamithope pathi]] ==
Their diet seems to be almost exclusively "Tubby Tustard" (which is sucked through a spiral straw) and "Tubby Toast" (circular toast with a smiley face on it, which some{{Who|date=September 2008}} have taken to be representative of [[Lysergic acid diethylamide|LSD]]), and they are spectacularly messy eaters. In one episode, the "Tubby Toaster", the machine that makes "Tubby Toast" went seriously wrong and filled the Teletubbies' house with toast. Fortunately, one of their companions is Noo-Noo, a [[vacuum cleaner]].Machines like Noo-Noo,the voice trumpets, and the televisions in the Teletubbies' stomachs were designed to show small children, who are born into a world surrounded by strange and powerful electronic gadgets, that technology is benevolent and helpful, not something to be afraid of<ref> http://crossroad.to/text/articles/teletubbies10-99.html</ref>. The Teletubbies' landscape is an outdoor set located in rural [[Warwickshire]], [[England]], at Sweet Knowle Farm, Redhill Bank Rd, Whimpstone, CV37 8NR (between [[Stratford upon Avon]] and [[Shipston on Stour]], close to the [[River Stour]]<ref>Sweet Knowle Farm is at coordinates {{coord|52.125515|-1.703446|type:landmark|name=Sweet Knowle Farm}}</ref>). At the end of the show, all the Teletubbies say "Bye-Bye" three times. The narrator bids each Teletubby goodbye, and they disappear, but reappear a moment later saying "Boo!". The narrator then says "No", (which they copy) and proceeds to say goodbye to each Teletubby again. The sun is then shown setting, and the Teletubbies each say goodbye again, before jumping down a hole in the roof of their house. Finally, one Teletubby says goodbye a fourth time - they pop out of a hole in the house and say "Bye-bye!". For special episodes, and at the end of the "Fun With The Teletubbies" cassette, all four Teletubbies say "Bye-bye" in this way. Many of the occurrences of the show, including the end sequence, and the scene preceding the short film broadcast on a character's tummy were shot only once, and the same scenes are used in each episode. The [[Surrealism|surreal]] environment is an evocation of a [[toddler]]'s perception of the world,{{Fact|date=September 2008}} where they are ordered about and told to go to sleep, while wonderful and mysterious things happen without explanation. A prominent feature of each episode is a radiant [[sun]] that has an image of a smiling baby superimposed upon it. The baby in the sun occasionally laughs out loud in short bursts. To adults the laughter does not seem to be in response to any stimulus or humorous developments in the plot line of the episode. There are some{{Who|date=September 2008}} who believe the baby in the sun to be the most frightening "Big Brother" entity in the whole of children's television while others{{Who|date=September 2008}} think it's the best part of the show. In 2001, production was cancelled and it was announced that no new episodes would be produced. (However, BBC ran a few in-the-can episodes from mid 2001 to early 2002.){{Fact|date=September 2008}}It is often alleged{{Who|date=September 2008}} that this was due to substantial pay raise demands by the previously anonymous actors portraying the Teletubbies. However, since the four years of production had exceeded the target audience's age span, it was deemed that continuation was unnecessary,{{Fact|date=September 2008}} and the existing 365 episodes will be played in re-runs for years to come.


The temple is not a mainstream Vishnu temple, not even a direct Vishnu temple at all, but of [[Ayya Vaikundar]], who [[Ayyavazhi]]s believe to be an avatar of Vishnu. Now, [[Ayyavazhi]] is a new religion as per references on the article, so why it be included in Hindu temples? Even if considered a Hindu sect, not part of mainstream Hindu faith. So i think it should not mentioned at [[Template:Famous Vishnu temples]], or [[Template:Hindu holy cities]]. Please add your comments to build a consensus on the issue, of inclusion of Swamithope in the templates. --[[User:Redtigerxyz|Redtigerxyz]] ([[User talk:Redtigerxyz|talk]]) 05:06, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
== Character summary ==
{{main|User talk:65.0.175.60}}
* === Tinky Winky ===
Tinky Winky (played by [[Dave Thompson]], Mark Heenehan, and Simon Shelton) is the first Teletubby. He is the largest of the Teletubbies (and possibly the oldest), is covered in purple terrycloth, and has a [[triangle|triangular]] [[antenna]] on his head. Tinky Winky is notable for the red luggage (described by the show as a "magic bag", but often described by other media as a [[handbag]]<!-- Not a "purse", which is something else in UK English. -->) he carries. His character has caused much controversy due to allegations that his character's behaviour carried homosexual undertones. He is also found performing his ''Tinky Winky Round and Round Dance'' in a ballet-style tutu from time to time<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XKbqIAJtBg Video "Tinky Winky Gets Shot" at [[YouTube]].</ref>,which is also often worn by Laa-Laa.


:I very much disagree with the argument that Ayyavazhi is not part of Hinduism. There may be views that Ayyavazhi is itself a religion. But the introduction and the final section ' [[Ayyavazhi#Social_structure|Social structure of Ayyavazhi]]'. There are creadible sources provided suggesting Ayyavazhi as a Hindu set and part of Hinduism.
* === Dipsy ===
Dipsy (played by [[John Simmit]]) is the second Teletubby who is green and who's name stems from the straight [[dipstick]] antenna on his head. His favorite item to wear and carry with him is his black and white hat. Dipsy is the most obstinate of the characters, and will sometimes refuse to go along with the other Tubbies' group opinion. His face is also notably darker than the rest of the Teletubbies.


:And [[User:Redtigerxyz]], Please define this statement "Even if considered a Hindu sect, not part of mainstream Hindu faith.", Thanks - '''[[User:Lalu Hrishikesh|White Dot]]'''...!!!'''[[User talk:Lalu Hrishikesh|<sub>&reg;</sub>]]''' 17:14, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
* === Laa-Laa ===
Laa-Laa (played by Nikky Smedley) is the third Teletubby. She has a curly antenna and is very concerned with the welfare of all. She's the best singer of all the Teletubbies. "Drama queen", party-girl and mother type. Her favorite thing is a bouncy, orange ball, which is almost as big as she is.


== [[Sanskrit revival]] ==
* === Po ===
[[Po]] (played by [[Pui Fan Lee]]), is a red female Teletubby wiht a short antenna that has a circle on top. She is the fourth (and last) Teletubby, is the smallest of all the Teletubbies (possibly the youngest), and the one who most often gets into innocent trouble. Her favorite thing is her scooter as she calls it "Po 'cooter!". Of all the Teletubbies, Po usually becomes most involved with the audience, and is the only [[bilingual]] Teletubby, with her second language being [[Cantonese]].


[[Sanskrit revival]] - as this is a phenomenon relevant to the 20th and 21st century, the subject should be expanded to reflect this transition from one century to another. As this is a large subject, the addition of many editors from diverse perspectives would benefit the expansion of this article. Thanks.

Noo-Noo (prononced '''Nuu-Nuu''') seems to be both the Teletubbies guardian and housekeeper, due to its resemblance to a [[vacuum cleaner]], which is its initial purpose in the house. Noo-Noo hardly ventures outside, instead remaining indoors and constantly cleaning with its sucker-like nose. It does not speak like the other characters, instead communicating through a series of slurping and sucking noises. At times, Noo-Noo gets annoyed with the Teletubbies antics and can vacuum their food or toys. This usually prompts the Teletubbies to scold Noo-Noo through a cry of "Naughty Noo-Noo!". Usually after this, Noo-Noo flees and the Teletubbies pursue it comically around the house until they grow tired, are distracted by something, or forgive Noo-Noo. This sequence ends with them hugging it, or with it shooting out their absorbed objects.

Her giggle was included on the track ''[[Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh!]]'', which reached number one on the [[UK Singles Chart]]. Although she was not credited, this does make her technically the youngest person ever whose vocal appeared on a number one song.

== Controversies ==
-- [[User:Nvineeth|vineeth]] ([[User talk:Nvineeth|talk]]) 07:21, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Besides of its popularity famous Tinky Winky controversies, many other controversies have emerged from "Teletubbies" as well.The Teletubbies say the word "Eh-oh", which means[[hello]]."Eh-oh" is considered by many to be another word for [[Satan]]<ref>http://manaboutthehouse.wordpress.com/2007/04/04/hello-world/</ref>Also,people have said that Teletubbies is uneducational<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/287940.stm</ref>.The creators have stated their opinons on the matter.<ref> http://crossroad.to/text/articles/teletubbies10-99.html</ref>Another wide-ranging controversy is about the alleged gender confusion caused by two of the characters having homosexual traits: one of the male characters have female traits, and one of the female characters have male traits. At least one young children's teacher in Brazil conduced experiments involving children's reaction to some episodes, and found they experienced problems with the gender roles of the characters and their own identification with them. Some parents as a result have forbidden their children watching the program, and others do allow but with direct supervision to ensure the children identify only with the "straight" characters.Other commentators have complained about the "psychedelic" nature of the program, claiming that parts of some episodes resemble drug-induced hallucinations: one episode in which a character is crushed by a falling letter E was taken to be a direct reference to the drug ecstasy.The owners of the series have also been extremely strict in the protection of their copyright and, as such, have refused to allow the Teletubbies characters to be used in school plays or any production outside those commercially controlled by the production company.A Boston lawyer once accused Dipsy, as a bath toy, of child endangerment. He was put on a 10 most dangerous toy list, later joined by the Laa-Laa bath toy. Their antennas were hard plastic and understandably a jabbing concern in a slippery, wet tub.In the show's native UK most of these controversies either went by largely unnoticed, and indeed reports of the controversies of Tinky Winky's alleged [[homosexuality]] and the alleged psychedelic nature of the programme from other countries were met with amusement by the media. The exception to this is the controversy over the Teletubbies speech possibly harming the linguistic development of children which had wide media exposure, but ultimately nothing came of it.<ref>http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Teletubbies_-_Controversy/id/5509312</ref>


== Teletubbies in popular culture ==
== [[Hindu]] and [[Hinduism]] ==
* Several episodes of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' contain references to the Teletubbies. Notable episodes include "[[Days of Wine and D'oh'ses]]" where a character called Gaa Gaa says "hurt everyone" which goes unnoticed because of the character's "cute name", and "[[Blame It on Lisa]]" in which Bart watches a Brazilian children's learning show called "Teleboobies" which has a different premise but the title is an obvious pun. In "[[Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder]]", Homer dresses up as a Teletubby to entertain Maggie. His line, "...and I'm all man, in case you heard otherwise" is a reference to the Tinky Winky controversy. In "[[Missionary: Impossible]]", several PBS mainstays chase Homer for reneging on a pledge to donate money to public television. The crowd includes the Teletubbies whose headgear shoots laser bursts. On another occasion, the Teletubbies make what the announcer calls "their first live appearance since Tinky Winky was acquitted of manslaughter". Character [[Milhouse Van Houten]] is apparently a [[closet]] [[Fan (person)|fan]], as evidenced by his undergarments and his private TV viewing. Also on "[[Wild Barts Can't Be Broken]]", Milhouse has Dipsy and Tinky Winky briefs.
*In an episode of ''[[South Park]]'' called "[[Ike's Wee Wee]]", [[Herbert Garrison|Mr. Garrison]] is watching the Teletubbies at home while stoned.
* The Australian sketch show ''[[Full Frontal (TV series)|Full Frontal]]'' included many sketches featuring "Tele[[Beer bottle#Stubby|stubbies]]" named [[wikt:tipsy|Tipsy]], Drinky-Drinky, Blah and [[wikt:paralytic|Paro]]. These four Teletubby look-alikes, emblazoned with [[Australian beer]] labels and with [[beer tap]]s on their heads, would wander around aimlessly committing crimes.
* The New Zealand show ''[[Mai]] [[Time]]'' had a sketch entitled "Smellie Grubbies", the characters names being Stinky Winky(Wairua Rutene), Dipstick (James Sutherland), [[Mars Bar]](Jordan Sutherland) and Poo(John Bright).
* In an episode of ''[[Grounded for Life]]'', Claudia thought that Jimmy was high on drugs because he was laughing while watching Teletubbies. Eddie then asked Jimmy why he was laughing. Jimmy responded "Oh. Po tripped over Laa-laa and fell in the flower bed." Eddie then explained it to Claudia.
* In an episode of [[Arthur (TV series)|''Arthur'']], Buster claims Muffy as "the fifth Teletubby" in "The Contest", the first segment of "The Contest/Prove It". There also seems to be at least three Teletubbies equivalents in the series, known as "Love Ducks", "Vidiboobies", and "Silly Squirrels".
* An episode of the TV sketch show [[Harry Enfield's Television Programme|''Harry Enfield and Chums'']] featured a "Telecockneys" sketch based on four [[Cockney]] characters Lovely Jubbly, Geezer, Beer Gut and Boff (together with the "Loo Loo") in a pub.
* In an episode of the British cartoon sketch show ''[[2DTV]]'', "The Talibannies" are featured, one of them being "Bin-LaLa", referencing the [[Taliban]] and [[Bin Laden]].
* In the [[webstrip]] [[Sluggy Freelance]] [http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=990309 dated [[9 March]] [[1999]]], the characters Torg and Riff discuss the fact that "Drinky Winky" from the "Teletubbles" is "an abusive drunk because of the bottle of booze he carries", says Torg reading from a newspaper. Riff counters saying "That's not a bottle of booze! It's his magic bottle that makes his problems go away! (...) never mind." Torg goes on reading, "The abusive side of Drinky Winky is demonstrated by..." to which Riff argues "Tipsy and Hoe had it coming!"
* In ''[[The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers]]'', the "Rendoosian" word for "television" is "Telebooby", which sounds like "Teletubby".
* In 1998, Tom Fulp of Newgrounds created a spoof of Teletubbies called "Teletubby Fun Land"<ref>[http://www.newgrounds.com/tubby/ Newgrounds Presents: Teletubby Fun Land<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>" which resulted in a law suit from the [[BBC]]<ref>[http://www.newgrounds.com/lit/bbc.html Newgrounds Literature<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. This resulted in a boost of notoriety and media [[exposure]],and the video was renamed "''Tellybubby'' Fun Land".
* In an episode of the [[HBO]] prison series ''[[Oz (TV series)|Oz]]'' an allusion to a "Twinky Dink" is mentioned in conjunction with the comments made by evangelist [[Jerry Falwell]]'s "outing" of Tinky Winky.
* In an episode of ''[[The Fairly Oddparents]]'', when Timmy was trapped by his "imaginary" friend from preschool revived into real life, the "Teebietubbies" were ordered to attack him.
* In an episode of ''[[Kim Possible]]'' where a few characters are sent into television programmes, one of the channels shown features Teletubby-like creatures. An enormous one called Mr Sit-Down stomps on various villains over the course of the show by sitting on them.
* In the ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' episode "[[Junk in the Trunk]]", there is a segment in which the red Teletubby, Po, is shown smoking.
* In an episode of ''[[Whose Line is it Anyway?]]'', during a game of Film/TV/Theatre Styles, Teletubbies was performed, with [[Ryan Stiles]] warning the others of the "evil purple one".
* In the [[Netherlands]], the Dutch public channel had a version called ''De Teringtubbies''. This was broadcast at [[Ned2]], and was part of the [[BNN]] programming. It received various critics, many people (especially the young) thought it was funny, hilarious, and perhaps even cult, but at the same time, many people (including the creators of the Teletubbies) thought it went too far over the edge, for one Teringtubbie was called "Tietentubbie" (Titstubbie), a "tubbie" wandering around in a yellow Lala outfit, with her breasts hanging out of the costume, and the name of the programme literally ment Tuberculosistubbies. There were only 10 episodes made of ''The Teringtubbies''.
* In one episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'', Stewie is forced to watch ''Teletubbies'' after Lois catches him reading mature books. Stewie then gets sucked into the show and cannot get his focus off the TV until Peter changes the channel to watch his own programme.
* In 2007, Australian comedy team [[The Chaser]] sent a person in a Tinky Winky suit to a gay bar and a Polish club to see what the general reactions would be. Tinky Winky was welcomed into both establishments.
* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "[[The Sound of Drums]]" features the [[Master (Doctor Who)|Master]] commenting on an episode of ''Teletubbies'': "Televisions in their stomachs! That's evolution!" This is an allusion to the classic series story ''[[The Sea Devils]]'', in which the Master is seen enjoying ''[[The Clangers]]'' and making a similar sarcastic comment on the characters.
* The BBC series ''[[Goodness Gracious Me]]'' presents a supposedly Indianised parody of the show, called ''Delhitubbies''.
* The [[Stone Temple Pilots]] video of "[[Sour Girl]]" features creatures that interact with the band that heavily resemble the Teletubbies.


Just like [[Jain]] redirects to [[Jainism]] and [[Buddhist]] redirects to [[Buddhism]], I see no reason why Hindu should not redirect to Hinduism. They both cover the same material 100%. One is just the name of the religion while the other is just the name of the people who follow that religion. Can anybody convince me that the two articles need to be separate? If not, I will merge them soon.

Hindu related articles of questionable notability

While assessing articles for the project, I have come across numerous articles that are advertisements of sorts for local ashrams and non notable gurus. Currently there are about four or five Hindu gurus and/or ashrams that have little or no notability and little to no reliable sources. I have nominated these articles for deletion. Please feel free to review these nominations at, Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Hinduism. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 14:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ism. I find that it could be sometimes a problem of spelling or a language. What if a guru has notability as in a local language such as say Polish, German, Gujarati or Bengali but not in English media as such, does it warrant the notability on English Wikipedia? Does anyone here can comment on it? Wikidās ॐ 16:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would tend to have to favor Ism's approach, although I might simply prod them for deletion myself under those circumstances. While it is true that these individuals might be notable in other languages, we can't assume that. If a foreign-language source is provided to estabalish notability, of course, even if you can't read it, that can be sufficient to ensure that the article not be deleted.

  • Question - Do any editors know of sources in other languages for the articles posted on, Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Hinduism? Please review per possible sources in other languages, and see if they might add or detract to the notability of the articles for deletion. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 01:10, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • New Question While assessing articles I came upon one about a spiritual leader called, Pujya Mota. I have checked sources in english and there are some passing mentions of him, but not much. Do any editors know of any good sources? Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 02:32, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If there are no objections, then I will put this article up for AFD in the future. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 12:29, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can see some sources and considerable references for him and his hariom asrama. And that is without checking 'other spellings' of his name. I would not AfD, just tag the lack or references in the article. Wikidās ॐ 13:30, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I saw some passing references to his ashram as well, which is why I posted the question. Thank you for your feedback. I will look for references on the ashram as they might add more notability to the article and tag it in the meantime. Thanks again. Ism schism (talk) 13:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HELP!!! NEEDED for Article on Sikh Rajputs

Someone put a tag on "Sikh Rajputs" article that it will be deleted in five days etc., this article can not be deleted as Sikh Rajputs exist and most claims made in the article are true as well known to local Indians in Punjab only the need is that some interested and knowledgeable editors with access to proper history books etc. can eventually come forward and develop the article properly in time, quoting credible sources. Foreign born and raised editors with no direct local Indian knowledge are requested not to vandalize it as per their own fastly held thoughts and beliefs.

Thanks

New University Project on Hindu Law

Not sure where to post this exactly, but I wanted to let everyone who contributes to Hinduism-related pages that my class will be working on a collaborative project on Hindu law and Dharmaśāstra this term (Fall 2008) and we will be working on the Hindu Law and Dharmaśāstra pages, as well as creating and improving many others. Any help or suggestions you may have for us along the way are most welcome and appreciated. The project is described at Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects.

Feedback at Vithoba

I soon aim to nominate GA Vithoba for FAC. I would like suggestions to improve the article to FA status. Also, i request some copyeditor to go through the article to polish the language, if needed.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 12:13, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Swamithope pathi

The temple is not a mainstream Vishnu temple, not even a direct Vishnu temple at all, but of Ayya Vaikundar, who Ayyavazhis believe to be an avatar of Vishnu. Now, Ayyavazhi is a new religion as per references on the article, so why it be included in Hindu temples? Even if considered a Hindu sect, not part of mainstream Hindu faith. So i think it should not mentioned at Template:Famous Vishnu temples, or Template:Hindu holy cities. Please add your comments to build a consensus on the issue, of inclusion of Swamithope in the templates. --Redtigerxyz (talk) 05:06, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I very much disagree with the argument that Ayyavazhi is not part of Hinduism. There may be views that Ayyavazhi is itself a religion. But the introduction and the final section ' Social structure of Ayyavazhi'. There are creadible sources provided suggesting Ayyavazhi as a Hindu set and part of Hinduism.
And User:Redtigerxyz, Please define this statement "Even if considered a Hindu sect, not part of mainstream Hindu faith.", Thanks - White Dot...!!!® 17:14, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sanskrit revival

Sanskrit revival - as this is a phenomenon relevant to the 20th and 21st century, the subject should be expanded to reflect this transition from one century to another. As this is a large subject, the addition of many editors from diverse perspectives would benefit the expansion of this article. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 18:52, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Hinduism

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 22:52, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ramakrishna article.

Hindu and Hinduism

Just like Jain redirects to Jainism and Buddhist redirects to Buddhism, I see no reason why Hindu should not redirect to Hinduism. They both cover the same material 100%. One is just the name of the religion while the other is just the name of the people who follow that religion. Can anybody convince me that the two articles need to be separate? If not, I will merge them soon. Thanks GizzaDiscuss © 05:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Swaminarayan

Consensus recently led to the creation of WP:Swaminarayan which will be included as a workgroup under the Hinduism Wikiproject. Please join if you are interested    Juthani1   tcs 21:28, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed! When I added WP:Swaminarayan to the banner list of the article Swaminarayan everything went fine. But when I look at the WP:Swaminarayan page on the editorial review template nothing shows up. I need help with this formatting issue.    Juthani1   tcs 22:07, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All the articles of this project are unassessed in terms of WP1.0 based quality assessments. Do you want TinucherianBot to autoassess for WP:Swaminarayan based on other banners on the same page.We had done this successfully for many other projects.Do leave me a note on my talk page -- Tinu Cherian - 07:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Articles beginning 'Anti-christian violence....'

Could someone have a look at these articles, all written by four specific users, with all NPOV edits promptly deleted by themselves or sockpuppets? A lot of anti-India stuff is being propaganda-ised there. I am a 'disgusted' editor.
